McGilliv- aay preached on Sunday in the Pres byterian church to a ;great crowd His themein the morning was No Place Like- Horne,' and in the evening, "Z~lo Woman Like Mother'." In a very eloquent ; manner he took up these subjects, which, touched the hearts of the 'Old Boys" who had returned for the occasion, The fp-flowing brief : notes, Dr. Campbell, Morgan. will conduct a'miss • ion in Montreal in September,, There were ninety-eight clergymen register- ed in McDonald College, Quebec, who took the suininer course: The South- eern Presbyterian Church.in the Unit- ed States is preparing for a Forward Movement this fall, Mrs. Leslie Lewis, s wife of the minister of Gravesend, England, ; has been ordained ; to the eldership,: In far off Shetland, the -Congrega- tional churches . areenjoying a visit from Rev. Andrew Ritchie, the presi- dent of the Union in Scotland. Dr. Frank H. Divine, a debt -raising spec- ialist, held a conference 'recently with officials of the Montreal Baptist churches.: He is referred to as the 'Oben who is putting the "m" .into,. money and making, it spell ministry ntnd missions." The Congregational church of Rhyine, Scotland," is one of the smallest numerically-, never ev- ceeding ninety members;' but has the honor of sending out .209 inireeters and missionaries among them, the _ls ted.

Henry, D D., has just.passedaway in Philadelphia. He was the means of bringing 75,00e members into the church. Anglo Catholic conferences have been so suc- cessful in England that a Central Executive Committee has been ap- pointed to indicate the policy for 1923. -The late Sir Donald, Mac Master, Bart., K. C., of. London, England, fnrmerly:•a resident of Montreal and member' of the House of Commons; Ottawa, requested in his will that a memorial' to his son, Lt. Donald Cam- eron Macmaster, who fell at Loos, be :placed in the church.at Williamstown, Ontario, the . old ,home of the family in Canada. The church association of England, g , which is the Low church, party are not inactive since •their brethren of. the High church party sent the Dec- laration. of Faith to the authorities of the Orthodox Greek church. To put it in the language of .a writer on- the. subject, "they have stolen a march on the •Anglo -Catholics by writing a long letter to the Oectunenical Patriarch, giving •a summary of Protestant teach- ings." The letter states that the "dee- laration is misleading." "Going to conference" is a matter of little hardship: new, to most Can- adian Methodists. The one exception is to that Assembly which meets in. the Ancient Colony of Newfoundland beeause man's ingenuity has not yet been able to eliminate the tricky ways of fog and sterol on the Gulf. The conference just closed there was he - bind •time in opening, yet ,was attend- ed by the General Superintendent, Dr, Chown, Rev. •R, J. D. Simp'son, sec- retary of Superannuation Fund aid other leaders. It had inspirational ad- dresses and a lively series of debates.) l'1te following reference was trade to the special addresses.' delivered by Professor -Gifford of Montreal: "Dis- agreeable as the journey glad -been," the writer begiris "we would be wills Mg- to repent it for .theprivilege of listening to,hirtl'ag cin." The `foreign : work of the Salvation Army is a marvel of faith, enthusi asrn and sacrifice, . They have 112 societies in Japan and 98 corps in Korea. They minister to the out- casts, in India,. the Iepers of Java, the geld -diggers of- Joharneesburg and -the, sayages .of Zululand. They' are pion- eering in East and West Africa, and have penetrated six republics in Latin Ar ri ne ca.'The •. issue 83 periodicals in 25 languages. • They have no re ser=ve funds but depend on what comes lit . from day to day. This year £2 0 0 oo are needed for ' 5 ,d mission work. F s In St. George's fields, South Lon- don, Lord George Gordan, held his historic anti -Popery riots. The same ground afterwards becaine the prop-.) erty .of the Roman Catholics on which• they built St. George's church, This has grown to the the Cathedral of the, diocese of South- work and is now being cnlar`ged. Dr. Lynch, editor of Christian work, who is a Congregationalist, has just been on a visit to Sweden. He makes the following comments on Church life there. "Phe strong Swedish. church", he writes "has been a bul- wark -to of the W a. r. -to the con- tinent during and since the war. Arch- bishop Soderblorn in replying to the Lambeth appeal accepts its offer, which is a great step forward in the church unity." He refers ,to the back= wardness of the Lutheran in Amer- ica to co-operating with other church- es by stating, "They (the Swedish Lutherans) seemed quite amazed when they learned that the Lutheran bodies in America were not enthusiastic con- stituents of the Federal Council of churches, ' As to the clergy he de- scribes them as very learned men, keen to read the latest books of Ger- man, English and American theolog- ians. They give more, attention to the. preparation of sermons than to social and industrial questions "I noticed" he 'remarks, "how few; questions were asked"me about temperance and other problems- about which we in America. are so interested." The clergyman usually is not a bad sport, whether choss or golf or the more vigorous sanies of tennis, soccer! or • baseball is plaYed.. 'The clerical flavor is enjoyed, No where is this better appreciated than on the, cricket field. ` Recently the Bishop of St:: Albans 'went to bat with one of his clergy bowling. 'The first ball took the wicket greatly. :to the injury of the churchman's dignity. In a note to the local church paper,, however, the Bishop states that he is going to retaliate by "preaching for theoffend • er.". nnivr�,},mu,•:I SPECS SND ,,$PARS We do hope -that when winter com- es the country will be coaled; Some girls wear their hearts in Itheir sleeves and some don't even wear sleeves.

RENIINISC NQES OF 33Y -GO D yS Following is one .of the interesting letters received by the people of S. S. No, 9, East Wawanosh in answer to an invitation to be present at the'5oth Anniversary picric. It was left' in The Advance Office on Wednesday last after our paper was ready to go to press, or we would gladly have published it last. week. Gananoque, Ont., Aug; 9th„ '1922 Mrs. Chas, Carter, R. R. No. 5, Wtnghem, Ont, Yesterday I received your kind in- vitation to be present at your 5pth Anniversary Picnic of Currie's S. S. No. 9, East Wawanosh, on Wednesday August 23rd; My first impulse was to sit down ,and say, "Yes" I even thought I should like to make a speech, as you request, although speechmaking is not in nm line. The old familiar name made me want to be with you, and it would bereal o t a •, Id school 'house and -on the old grounds. But I fear that it will be impossible to aet on my first impulse. At any rate the pos- sibilitof myie ber able to O is a yso. g g uncertain that you had better not give me the honour of haying my name appear on the programme We thank you very kindly for the invitation, and there is the bare pos- sibility that I •inay be able to accept .it, although at the present time there seems , to be very small chance of being able to enjoy the pleasure, What fond recollections are called upeven by the name of the old school "No. • 9, East Wawanosh!" What glorious fun we used to have in win- ter coasting down Lobb':e hill at re- cess, when each boy would invite his favored girl -to be seated beside him, or rather hefoi•e or behind him on his hand sleigh, and down they would go at terrific speed to the bottom and half way up the hill on the other side. I wonder if "Will" Currie now allows the boys and girls to coast down his hills as they did in the old days. Well do I remember every foot of the way from my old home to the school and every farm along the way. How I1ov ed to cool my bare feet in Stark's creek on a hot summer day and to. have a drink of the clear, puve water which flowed from the spring under the old rail fence on the south side of the little bridge over the creek! Never since have I_ drunk a"water so'', cool and so' sweet as the water ' of Stark's creek. Often we boys would, harness up ,,.our prancing steeds at recess and drive away to the. creek, and even beyond, as fat as the.. top of Stark's hill. or farther; so far'that! we could not hear Mr. Newcome's whistle calling,in the school; and then when we came back, the little man l •would`be standing in the school room door• with a ruler, from which -each belated boy received.a resounding,':. whack or two on.the hand as he pass-', ed through the door. Of no avail to say we didnot hear the call. "You'', should have heard it; you should not have gone so far, • In those days we had not the crowd- ed curriculum that We have to -day. But we ;did learn to read and write and spell, and work arithmetic. There was not ,the crazeto prepare candi- dates for the "Entrance," which pre- vails in so many schools to -day; but even in those early days there were candidates from No. g, who did the old school honour by their high stand- ing on the Entrance; and at a later date the "school had the honour .of pasing candidates for III Class Teach- ers' Certificates. Yes the old school had a good record then, and I am pleased to know that record has been maintained: There has been nofall- ing off. In fact, I • have heard that No. 9 stands in the front rank as an up-to-date rural school. As Principal ,of a 'large urban school I 'am more andmore alive to the fact that "The teacher makes the school." No price, within reason is too high to pay for a good. teacher and any price, no mat- ter how low, is too high to pay for a poor one. Therefore, having at heart the best interests of the old school, I trust it will continue tobethe 'policy of the Trustees to engage the gest teachers available and pay them well. If possible at all 1` shall be witli.you on the 23rd., but if not there, will yon please convey to the old friends whom I should like to know, < my hearty greetings and best wishes for a happy gathering. It is my earnest wish and 'Prayer that the school may continue to prosper during the next fifty years as it has during the past. Yours very sincerely, J. C. Linklater.

THE GOLDEN RULE The greatest known • test of a good disposition is when.. that good -dis- position is inside the driver of -an automobile and the car •is out on a country road at night, meeting scores of machines whose drivers do not have the courtesy to dim their lights. There is no discomfort in driving greater than being constantly blinded by the glare of powerful lights of a car approaching from the opposite direction. In all walks of life there are the considerate and the inconsiderate. But the latter are more conspicuous when they drive automobiles at night. They consider it too much trouble to be constantly dimmipg their lights when the mach- ines t'ft<meet,are numerous. Con- sequently they get out of the habit, altogether, even when they meet cars on the road occasionally. What these drivers overlook is the jeopardy in which they put their own Iives, for 'a driver who is approaching a car with the lights blinding- him so that, he cannot tell where he is 'going;. maX: unwittingly run into the car he so- approaching and cause damage ansa injury when this could be.avoided ,i courtesy due on the road is, observe& '.
